speculative betting. The amendments
were made 1t the dictasion of the gamb-
ling element Of New York city. which
endeavored to kill the bill altogether. but
succeeded only in manning it.
The question now is, will Governor Hill
sign the bill. He has shown signs already
of weakness by having deferred his action
and by appointing q special day for .
.'hearing'' from the New York booksellers.

he could with hold his signature and allow
it to become a law by the expiration OF

q tight place and he realizes
the fact; for the saloon element
and the gambling element of New York.
going hand in hand, working for each
other interest, are a powerful political
combination which the administration
cannot afford to ignore. Should the bill
become law either by the Governors
signature, or by default of action, there
will certainly be howl of rage that will
awaken the Executive to full sense Of
the importance of the law.
By making pool-selling felony, except
at certain specified times and places. the
bill will, if it becomes law and be en-
forced, make vast change in vast bus

reached point where it no longer is
governed blu, governs. Its power is not
confined to municipal officers, but extends
even to Albany. 1t IS time that some
legislation was enacted to effectually
check its dictations. If this bill become
law, although greatly impaired. the
people will yet have enough left to enable
them to put legal restraint upon this in
creasing netarious occupation.

An employer has the undisputed right
to hire any employe he chooses. and an
employee is equally free to engage en-
ployment with any employer he wishes !;
both must agree to the hours OF labor and
the compensation therefor. But when
An emplove dictates to his employer con-
corning the employment of any other
employee. he is most surely usurping pow !.
er and assuming an inconsistent position.
Whether the employers Of Chicago shall
control and manage their own business, is
the point at issue in the present extensive
lockouts. Their course Is certainly the
only alternative for it is either to be ruled
by the unprincipled and arbitrary labor
organizations of that city or to remain
masters of their own capital and business.
It would seem that the rights of capital
should receive recognition from labor
whose object in organization is to gain
recognition for itself; but these events
positively declare that the principles held
bv the Chicago organization are not only
the embodyment of injustice but assert
without any regard for the rights of any
thing else. the supremacy of labor-a
labor despotism. That the results of such
excessive and indetensible positions as
are attempted by labor led on by vicious
demagogues will prove disastrous to the
interest of labor. is a conclusion that is
self-evident.

What Will He Do?

Governor Hill on Friday was given the
Ives pool bill for his signature. This bill
in its original form prevented pool-selling,
at all times and places, but during ita
passage through the legislature became
20 amended as to allow pool-selling on
race tracks for any period of thirty
days. between May 18th and
October 18th. On the ground that pool.
selling is gambling and that gambling is
wrought would seem that this amendment,
would so change the force and intent Of
the hill as to make it limited license
pool-selling bill. But such was not the
design of the gentleman who framed the
bill. His idea was most assuredly to pre-.
vent by legal measures this method Of

Judicious Advertising

The Chicago Inter 0ceds, speaking OF
the value of careful and judicious adver-
Using, makes some remarks that deserve
attention. People are but too apt to
undervalue the importance of that part
of the newspaper which is devoted TO
advertisements. Yet no other single
part of any weli-conducted paper has
as many reading patrons There is
hardly day passing but what some~
body comes into the office and requests
to see some of our exchanges and we
notice that they always peruse the ad,
vertising columns. The Inter Ocean
says:
Business men in the thriving young
cities of the west do not overestimate the
benefits of iudicious advertising. Every
good advertiser in town is more or less
benefactor to the whole people. 1t is
not an unfrequent occurrence for bus
mess men to either come TO the Inter
Ocean exchange-room or send for ex>
changes. for the sole purpose OF study.
